PrEP iT!: A Pilot Test of a Mobile Peer Support Intervention to Optimize PrEP Adherence and Retention in PrEP Care
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PrEP iT! (plus usual PrEP care) and Usual PrEP care for Treatment Adherence and Compliance. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The long-term goal of this research is to create an effective and sustainable program to support retention in PrEP care and PrEP adherence among 18-29 year old men who have sex with men (MSM). To reach this goal, we will develop and pilot test a mobile intervention tailored to young MSM, called PrEP iT! Primary aims include: Aim 1: Develop the PrEP iT! mobile intervention through focus groups with young MSM and refine iterations through input from a community advisory board (CAB). Aim 2: Conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary impact of the PrEP iT! intervention for young MSM.
